There is a crossroads in the automobile industry. On the one hand, driving enthusiasts want models with higher performance, rigid chassis and direct steering that maximize driving fun. On the other hand, pragmatists say that driving is an annoying procedure, in which you have to avoid traffic jams and look for parking spaces.
It is this last group that dreams of freeing up the hours behind the wheel through robotic driving and being able to allocate them to productivity, sleep or, according to a study by the English publication ‘Annals of Tourism Research’, sex. “It is likely that the autonomous car will end up linked to prostitution in the future, whether legal or illegal,” they say. But, for these situations to exist, two conditions are necessary for driverless cars to become a reality on our roads: legislation that allows it and vehicles with a satisfactory response capacity in daily traffic.
